Here’s what I have for the draft of the proposal for the new MEI Neumes Module schema.
I’ve arbitrarily named it Version 0.2, so that we can refer back to it.

For ease of discussion and efficiency, please discuss one issue at a time in separate email threads, e.g., Re: @oriscus.

Thanks,

Ichiro

==============================
MEI Neumes Module Draft, Version 0.2

A <neume> element consists of one or more <nc> element(s).

A <nc> (neume component) is a single pitched event, although the exact pitch may not be known.

Attributes for <neume>:
@intm (interval melodic; relative to the previous <neume>) {u|d|s|n|sh|sl} (u = up/high, d = down/low, s = same, n = neutral/unknown, sh = same or higher (but not lower), sl = same or lower (but not higher))
@significative letters
@hispanicTick (type1, type2)
@hook

Attributes for <nc>: 
@pname
@oct
@intm (interval melodic; relative to the previous <neume>) {u|d|s|n|sh|sl} (u = up, d = down, s = same, n = neutral/unknown, sh = same or higher (but not lower), sl = same or lower (but not higher))
@wavy 
@significative letters
@curved (anticlockwise, clockwise)
@angular (plain, v-shaped, staircase) (was @angled) 
@liquescence
@episema
@extended
@tilt {n|ne|e|se|s|sw|w|ne} (north, northeast, etc.)
@quilisma (2, 3, or 4 curves)
@oriscus (curved, flat, jagged)
@con (gapped, looped) (connection to the previous <nc> within the same <neume>)

Removed from the previous version: @jagged, @flat, @long, @diagonalright, and @hispanicLoop from the <neume> level.
